Inspiration

My family trying their luck at the recent $8 million prize pot and painstakingly using the Singapore pools website, which was so infuriating to use that this idea was spawned.

What it does

Listening to the radio, checking the newspaper and online sources are the few avenues available for punters in Singapore to check the Singapore Pools lottery results every week. However, upon buying many tickets, it is often easy to miss a number or two in our haste. Even with proper concentration, the tedium of entering the numbers one-by-one can quickly be tiresome.

Using GCP-provided Optical Character Recognition models, "Huat Did I Win", a pun using "Huat" which in Hokkien meaning "prosper", provides gamblers and easy way to simply scan their physical tickets for a quick litmus test for a windfall!

How I built it

  • Typescript, React, Bootstrap
  • Next.js
  • GCP Vision API
